I Guess I'm Going with Mei.

Therefore, Lin Shuang subconsciously chose to be stubborn and say a few words, at least she could refute him for two rounds by being unreasonable.

"No, that's true."

Gepard's smile widened, while Lin Shuang beneath her stared at her with trembling eyes, her expression shifting like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

"What, what do you mean??"

"Literal meaning."

"..."

"You still say you don't intend to imprison me?!"

"Heh~"

I was going to explain.

But Gepard found Lin Shuang's 'terrified' expression really cute.

I think I'll explain later.

Maintaining this misunderstanding makes it seem like they're easier to bully.

"What does 'huh' mean?? Gepard?! You waaaaaah--!!"

Lin Shuang's mouth was sealed shut by Gepard again.

This time, however, I used several fingers.

364

Chapter 364 It's an implicit agreement to act together with Gepard.

Lin Shuang couldn't leave the house all day.

Fortunately, after the Train was repaired, many minor checks were still required.

Although it wasn't necessarily required, the Staff Member still asked for an extra day.

Lin Shuang naturally agreed.

Because she also needs some time to rest.

As for Xing...

After putting on the underwear Lin Shuang had given her, she even sent Lin Shuang a message.

At that moment, Lin Shuang was tied up tightly by Gepard and didn't notice Xing's message at all.

I didn't have time to send Xing a reply until very late.

After a good rest...

Lin Shuang received a message from Ruan Mei.

The cocoon in the Seclusion Zone is about to hatch.

Once Lin Shuang is ready, it's time to set off.

In addition, the two insects that Lin Shuang left for Ruan Mei enabled Ruan Mei to achieve some good results.

After that, Ruan Mei will likely go to Lin Shuang's territory to begin her experiments on the Long.

After receiving the message, Lin Shuang didn't ask where Ruan Mei was.

Instead, he looked up at Gepard.

Without saying a word, Gepard nodded and stood up:

Let's go.

Lin Shuang opened her mouth, intending to say that she would go down alone.

But judging from Gepard's attitude, I feel like if I say it out loud, I probably won't be able to leave the house tomorrow.

So he could only nod and swallow back what he was about to say.

Seclusion Zone.

This wasn't Lin Shuang's first time here; she took Gepard and headed straight for the target cabin.

Only...

Swish--

The snow-white blade flashed faster than Lin Shuang's reaction.

While the Larva were still hidden, they were smothered with a single strike.

If it weren't for the mournful cries of death and the revealed wreckage being obliterated.

Lin Shuang probably had no idea that there was a bug hiding there.

"The strength of this insect... Ms. Herta really has nothing to worry about."

Gepard sheathed her sword, followed Lin Shuang indifferently, and made a comment.

She could sense the Larva's level of strength.

And the numerous Larva scattered throughout, and the cocoon with its enormous energy response, which was guarded at its core by those Larva.

Even though I had already heard it from Lin Shuang beforehand.

The created Emanator had a lifespan of less than a minute.

Moreover, their actual strength is inferior to that of a legitimate Emanator.

Gepard could still sense the madness of the geniuses.

However, just a few decks apart, a large number of Staff Member were carrying out their respective tasks without knowing anything about the situation.

Beneath this surface, however, a dangerous man-made Emanator is continuously creating more and more Larva that roam freely.

As for those seemingly sturdy metal decks...

Gepard can guarantee that with just a single, casual cut, this area can be smoothly connected to the Master Control Zone.

It is still unknown just how weak that artificial Emanator.

But if she truly lived up to the name of the Emanator, Gepard didn't even think the entire Space Station could withstand a single blow from the enemy.

As Lin Shuang walked forward, she explained to Gepard:

"It should be said that Herta trusts Ruan Mei, as for that artificial Emanator... I think its strength is not that exaggerated."

In the game's storyline, Xing only needs to be on her own to hold off the artificial messenger Emanator over fifty seconds.

This clearly shows that the Emanator's strength was extremely weak.

The title of "Emanator" may indeed just be a title.

I reckon he doesn't possess much of the power of Path at all.

It wasn't that Lin Shuang thought Xing was weak.

Rather, it is the vast difference between those Emanator and those Pathstrider.

Even though Xing had been glanced at by two Aeon, his strength was far greater than that of an ordinary Pathstrider.

It's also impossible to arbitrarily provoke a mere Emanator.

"Ruan Mei probably doesn't yet have the ability to control the power of a Path. Or to be more conservative, a newborn life cannot control the power of Emanator."

What Ruan Mei did was try to clone an Emanator.

But Lin Shuang had serious doubts about whether Ruan Mei could actually inject the power Path Propagation into that cocoon.

Even...

It is highly likely that the power of that Emanator originated entirely from the Swarm Insects's skin.

It has little to do with Ruan Mei herself.

This thing is probably similar to the Long.

Individual understanding is unnecessary, because due to their race, they are born with predetermined Path attributes.

But even if you bring it, you might not actually need it as an individual.

Otherwise, Lin Shuang wouldn't be able to explain the developments in the game's plot.

After all, Xing's solo defense Emanator this result in just one minute.

After witnessing Gepard's strength, Lin Shuang didn't believe it for a second.

Gepard nodded after hearing Lin Shuang's explanation.

"After all, he's a genius... the latter is more likely."

With her reputation as a genius, Gepard subconsciously considers the worst-case scenario.

Lin Shuang, on the contrary, seemed more optimistic:

"In short, there's no need to be overly pessimistic. I think even a genius wouldn't be able to successfully create a qualified Emanator in just one experiment."

"Is this your judgment after you've met that genius?"

Gepard continued to kill insects and clear a path with her scabbard while curiously looking at Lin Shuang.

Although Lin Shuang was willing to talk about the details between her and Ruan Mei, Gepard did not intend to ask for more.

Since it's so rare to have a friendship with a genius, Gepard wouldn't ruin it for her own selfish desires.

Lin Shuang nodded:

"Geniuses are indeed very capable, but their experiments don't succeed on the first try, especially large projects like this."

Each update to the Simulated Universe takes a considerable amount of time, during which countless bugs are fixed by Screwllum, and the Herta.

Geniuses are indeed amazing, but they aren't wish-granting machines; they can't just say whatever they want.

That's why I dared to think that if I had the chance, I'd try to capture it.

If we can successfully make that artificial insect break through the limitations of life, I think Ruan Mei would be very interested.

"... Do what you can."

"I will."

Gepard gave a brief instruction and then said nothing more.

She didn't really intend to bind Lin Shuang under her control.

He simply disliked Lin Shuang secretly taking risks alone or flirting with girls.

With Gepard leading the way, Lin Shuang advanced quickly.

They soon found the huge, empty petri dish.

On the other side of the glass.

Inside that huge, dark red, constantly throbbing cocoon of flesh.

Lin Shuang could already see the huge and ferocious Monster hidden inside.

"It doesn't seem very big..."

Gepard gestured carefully, and although it was several hundred meters long, it was smaller than she had expected.

"So, it's not as exaggerated as you think. This size is nowhere near its true form."

Lin Shuang greeted Gepard with a smile.

Then he went through the hatch and entered the huge petri dish alone.

Gepard stood outside the door, waiting as Lin Shuang's trump card.

Because of Lin Shuang, the birth time of this King Insect was brought forward considerably.

So much so that the people from the Ever-Flame Mansion haven't yet come to the Space Station to cause trouble.

It seems unlikely they'll have the chance to cause trouble on the Space Station.
